I have looked over your correspondence and have forwarded onto the NDP’s Health Critic, Don Davies as he is our party’s lead on all issues relating to health and the best person to respond to this issue.

Tracey Ramsey, MP Essex (Ontario) House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6
Re: Removing Cannabis from the Drug Schedule.
Dear Tracey Ramsey,
Now that the Governor General has stated (on Friday December 4th 2015) in the Speech from the Throne, "To that end, the Government will introduce legislation that will ... legalize, regulate and restrict access to marijuana". The question remains on exactly how to go about doing this. I have taken the liberty of drafting my own independent Bill that I hope Members of Parliament & The Senate will accept & adopt. I have titled and Numbered the Bill, and put it in the format of existing legislation. Attached is a PDF (and links) for Bill S-420 'Remove Cannabis from the Drug Schedule Act' This legislation clearly outlines 7 things needed to be done.
1. End the Prohibition of Cannabis by completely removing it from Schedule II, VII and VIII;
2. Repeal the Industrial Hemp Regulations, Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations, along with the Other Consequential regulations relating to Cannabis as a Schedule II, VII and VIII substance;
Grant amnesty for past convictions under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act;
3.
4. Put an immediate end to arrests for simple possession and for cultivation of cannabis plants;
5. Permit personal cultivation akin to normal municipal regulations for growing garden plants at home;
6. Let the Provinces, Territories and First Nations decide how they want to (tax, regulate, control, distribute) cannabis if needed; and
7. Recognize the value of dispensaries working with any Provincial, Territorial or First Nations legal access system. Also, I am working on an e-petition for this removing of Cannabis from the drug schedule. Would you consider sponsoring it? Attached is a screen-view of it, and below is the text of the petition.
I look forward to your reply, comments and support for this proposal.
Yours sincerely,

Whereas:
· Cannabis is the safest herbal medicine known to mankind;
· Hemp has the potential to provide food, animal fodder, medicine, fiber, fuel and building materials if unregulated;
· Cannabis prohibition causes excessive social & economic harm and prevents actualization of environmental benefits;
· Access to cannabis as medicine is a constitutional right (Section 7 of the Charter) and access is not available to all who require it;
· Prohibition fuels and finances organized crime and gang violence;
· Raids on dispensaries and consequent harm to families and businesses continue unabated despite the Liberal government's impending legalization; and
· Cannabis prohibition began as a focused effort to harass, punish and deport racial minorities across North America;
We, the undersigned, Citizens or residents of Canada, request (or call upon) the Government of Canada to Amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act to; 1. End the Prohibition of Cannabis by completely removing it from Schedule II, VII and VIII; 2. Repeal the Industrial Hemp Regulations, Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations, along with the Other Consequential regulations relating to Cannabis as a Schedule II, VII and VIII substance; 3. Grant amnesty for past convictions under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act; 4. Put an immediate end to arrests for simple possession and for cultivation of cannabis plants; 5. Permit personal cultivation akin to normal municipal regulations for growing garden plants at home; 6. Let the Provinces, Territories and First Nations decide how they want to (tax, regulate, control, distribute) cannabis if needed; and 7.

6 Members of Parliament have not been asked their views of Cannabis Policy

6 Members of Parliament have not been asked their views of Cannabis Policy


According to my research, As of July 14, 2016, I have contacted all Members of Parliament (via email /facebook /twitter /snail-mail) and have found that there are still 6 members of Parliament who have not stated their views.   Some MPs refused to answer my question because i don't live in their riding, and others have refused to respond.  What's remarkable is that the people in these ridings have not actually bothered to take time to contact their local MP, and ask them to make a public statement on cannabis policy, so it would be available on the internet.  You can help by contacting these MPs and getting a statement.   For some of them, all it takes is a phone call.  Thanks!

Arnold Chan - Scarborough--Agincourt

http://arnoldchan.liberal.ca/contact/



"
The flyer refers to a Liberal party resolution stating marijuana should be legalized because current enforcement policy “is not working.” Resources spent on enforcement haven’t stopped young people from getting access to the drug, so the party believes it’s best to focus resources on regulation and education, as is done with tobacco, to try to discourage marijuana use, said Chan, a lawyer.Sales of marijuana to young people would still be illegal, as would trafficking, under the Liberal plan.“This is about taking the criminal element out” of the marijuana business, said Chan, insisting he would not encourage people to smoke marijuana, a drug with “serious health repercussions.”

“Justin Trudeau has put out new ads to ethnic media to mislead Canadians about his pro-drug legalization policies.  The ad is false and dishonest. This ad is in direct response to the outrage expressed by immigrant communities and parents across Canada who have been clear that they do not support Justin Trudeau’s plan to legalize marijuana.  The truth about Justin Trudeau is that he will make marijuana legal in Canada. Justin Trudeau’s plan will make it easier for kids to access drugs and will send a message to young people that taking drugs is not a problem, making the difficult job of parents even harder. Only the Conservative Government is committed to keeping illegal drugs out of the hands of kids and off the streets.”
